Beijingers wasting more time in traffic: Study

Beijingers waste seven more minutes on clogged roads each day compared with two years ago, a report said.

The time increase is directly linked to the city's soaring car population, which increased by one million during the same period, the biennial study on residents' mobility from Beijing-based Horizon Research said.

Beijing residents now spend an average of 62.3 minutes on daily commutes made during rush hour, an increase of 7.3 minutes from 2007, according to the study.
